Yasmin Perez, 25, died after being beaten and shot in the neck following a minor car accident in Chicago’s Humboldt Park on June 19, 2021, after the city’s Puerto Rican Day Parade. She and her boyfriend, Gyovanny Arzuaga, were pulled from their vehicle by a group of men; both were shot during the attack. Arzuaga died at the scene and Perez succumbed to her injuries two days later in hospital.

Bystander video of the assault was widely circulated on social media and drew public outrage. Police identified several suspects; one, Anthony Lorenzi, was arrested days later in San Diego. Lorenzi later testified that he shot Arzuaga after seeing Arzuaga accidentally shoot Perez during the brawl, a claim prosecutors disputed with reference to the video.

Perez and Arzuaga left behind two young children, Sofiya and Jayden, and family and friends described Perez as a devoted mother. Does anyone have information about the attack or knew the victims and their family?
